Hey burnin,

any news about the upcoming BitFury miner?
It seems like BitFury is delivering their Starter Kits etc. in time, which is great.
But they have some serious soldering issues which causes chips not working sometimes.. :/

Do you already have a reseller / shop at hand who will sell your future products?

Let's do this...

I am watching this thread but still don't know what is the base for burnin to produce bitfury boards.
Right now he is in deep financial problem trying to refund people as much as he can, and even more than he is obligated to refund.

On other hand I have many unanswered questions:
How many votes is needed to start making prototype board?
Is there some deadline to produce boards? Does he need help to produce them having in mind this refund situation?
Where to order?
......

I am interested in buying 3 or 4 2 boards.

I think he gonna use the component that already bought for bitburner and use it to build bitfury boards. That way he can give more % refund for the bitburner customers.

FYI
BitFury is going to update their chip pricing by this weekend.

Hi,
Niko
I've send you a few Emails asking about bulk chip order prices.
Is there any problem ?

Sorry Marto, I'm drowning in emails, just had someone take over the communication for me. We will introduce new chip pricing on the site this weekend.

[kevinm]

Yeah and hopefully a proper designed use of the chip

The USB interface crap (and lack of anything marginally representing a protocol) coming from some others, with the ButFury chips, is horrendous

... looking forward to it!

Can you get more than 2.5Gh/s per chip from USB interface?
just curious.

cheers,
kev

I'm not sure what you mean
There's no USB limitation like that ...

Do you mean the BitFury chip itself?

Yeah the GPIO joy of the designs so far are really bad, a clean MCU USB interface would have no trouble.

As for talking to a single chip over USB ... well the BFLSC chips are 4GH/s+ ... so no issue there either ... even with 256 or more of them on a single computer on USB ...

Ahh sorry, lost this thread for a while...
Yes I was referring to the USB Interface with the BF chip specifically. most I have seen in testing so far is 2.7 Gh/s.
I realise the GPIO is not efficient and the chip can be a little unpredictable.

I am intrerestred specifically in single and dual chip applications where powere is drawn through the USB as well as the data flow.
I am interested in any improvements.

cheers,

[peterepeat]

I am interested in this also.
Will you ship to Australia?
Thanks

[Swimmer63]

Watching.

[Xfinity]

I am interested.

[joeventura]

Interested but as more time elapses, price becomes an issue.

I'd pay your price if you could deliver today

[flyG]

Would be interested by 2~4 boards, got 4 avalon bitburners orders for now, pending refund.

[dogjunior]

I would have thought Burnin would not do another project given that people as soon as problems develop want refunds and jump ship.

Thanks for reply but that is not definite information.
It said he will develop products further but no info about product, who are third parties and when the product will be available.
Another thing is this pool, as there is no way of us telling was it successful one or not.
Personally I want to buy good product and think burnin's expertise is what can provide it.
I am looking forward to these boards, but if they turn fiasco like Avalon chips did, I will have no other choice but to walk away.

Big issue in here is also those refunds, and which are in fact no fault of burnin, and there is no warranty it won't happen again.
He wanted to be precise and on time and used money to be prepared for incoming Avalon chips, and now people who paid in advance (without reason at all, chips was not on stock yet) want refund, and some want it in full amount and don't want to realize time line of events happened. In my opinion those who want to say thanks to burnin, support and appreciate his work, should donate for the cause.

This is all there is right now. We are all waiting on news.

[RoadStress]

Yes everyone is waiting for burnin to make his decission regarding paid orders.

[samurai1200]

Just want to add my +1 here... i'd love to transfer however much is possible of the price i paid for avalon miners to this bitfury version.

Latest from burnin

Dear valued customers,

There has been very little communication from me over the last few days, because the development
of the BitFury boards takes up all of my time.
I had to prioritize this over refund processing, because the Bitfury chips are expected to be delivered soon.

Now to the important part:
My new main distributor is CryptX aka asic-chips.com.
Their new site for complete hardware sales will be www.asic-hardware.com.
We have agreed that they will take over my end-user sales.
CryptX will also take over the refund processing and automate it.
I will transfer the orders that have not been completed or refunded yet and my customer database to them.
After transfer of the database you can log on to their site and you will have three options:
1. You convert existing orders that have not been refunded yet to Bitfury product orders.
The 70% partial refund will be deducted from your final order price.
2. You choose to get the 50%, later hopefully 70% partial refund.
3. Keep your order.

If you have any objection to the transfer of your information to CryptX, please
let me know by sending an email with the subject line:
'Opt out of database transfer'
You have 24 hours before the transfer, requests received later will be deleted on their side.


Cheers
Martin
